I think it has been fairly clearly demonstrated by the past couple decades that a military based on enlistment rather then drafting makes for a better military, at least for the united states. ask any military officer if they'd like to lead drafted soldiers into battle. The training and motivation are always better with career military troops rather then with draftees.
Anyway, I dont think there will be a new draft in the united states unless there is a major attack on the united states (by major attack, i mean a coordinated military operation by another country's military, ala Pearl Harbor, not ala september 11)
